No Time for Myself
© bondidwhat
Why do you want “me time”? Perhaps it’s because you want some peace from the constant rushing around and fire-fighting chaos.
And you want to focus on stuff that makes you happy. Fair enough. There’s nothing wrong with that.
But here’s a suggestion for you… make all time “me time.” This is possible I promise you, and you don’t even have to change what you’re doing…
What you do is very very simple… you simply pay full attention to whatever it is you’re doing right now.
By practicing this and getting good at it, you’ll honestly find that you’re not hankering after time for yourself. That’s because living in the moment is the most fulfilling place to be… Read more
How to Stop Worrying About Family Members
Ruchir asks…
“My mother always has tension in her mind. Things which have happened in the past, or are happening, disturb her. She thinks too much about every household topic and worries about every minute topic related to family. She’s not able to to sleep at night. Does she have a serious problem or is it normal?”

I don’t believe she has a serious problem.
I think she just has deeply ingrained thought habits that cause her to worry about members of her family, at the expense of her own peace of mind…
A good first step is to ponder that everyone is responsible for their own lives, which will lead to a new acceptance and a new way of seeing things — at least intellectually. Then, she can make a clear and calm decision (pact) that will become a reference for changing her behavior.
In this case, a “worry hour” is a fantastic way to go. This way, she can still allow herself to worry about her family, but not habitually… Read more
Is a Raw Food Diet Healthy?

What should we be eating? Is a raw food diet best? Is it even healthy?
You have to have a sense of humor about the subject of nutrition. If you didn’t laugh, you’d probably cry!
Let’s look at the big picture here. Every natural living thing knows what to eat except us human beings.
Isn’t that totally bizarre when you really think about it? We need clever people with Ph.D’s to have “diet wars” and study for decades — all trying to decide what a healthy diet looks like… Read more
Trustworthy Health Information

Running an ethical business isn’t always easy.
Providing effective, trustworthy health information means making tough decisions along the way…
James and I have occasionally talked about changing our plan. But we never have and we never will.
You see successful marketing requires a well-defined niche. You have one specific “target audience” that you can talk to directly, by providing information about their specific problem. We don’t have that… Read more
Common Parenting Mistake

My good friend Rob is an “honorary” uncle to his best friends’ little girl Chloe.
He told me a heart-warming story yesterday — a story that reminded me of a very common parenting mistake!
It’s a mistake I made myself and it’s one of my BIG regrets as a parent — getting the food thing wrong… terribly, terribly wrong.
I have a reasonable excuse however, in that I was pretty much a zombie when my son Sam was at the stage of putting things in his mouth. Regretfully, he did eat a lot of jarred mush…
Nowadays, I cringe when I hear parents scream “Get that out of your mouth” in such a panic that you’d think the house was on fire or something!
No, if I could do it again, I’d do it differently. When my son Sam was putting things in his mouth, I’d have some cut-up fruits and veg ready in the fridge to substitute.
Which brings me back to Rob’s niece Chloe… Read more
